Review:
Laura Dayton has done it again. I lived by her freestyle programs in the eighties and still have a dog-eared copy of Lower Body Solution. I've been waiting for this new book for what seems like years! Like her fans, the books has matured in its exercise routines and logic. I love it and indeed, like the back cover states, this is probably the only exercise book I'll ever need! It's got it all! --Tatiana Brynes, Devinely Defined
